Don't know how many of you remember Pentangle, looking at this earlier on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3Ipmg0in9Q. Before Mumford and a few others, can anyone name that Jo ?. (no dithering !), Pentangle formed 1967.

	Grundy Banjos says: 10/18/2012 8:10:42 AM I don't know the make of the banjo but Gerald Pink of Wodonga Vic has exactly the same pot with a Mountain Ash neck made for him in the late '80's by luthier Eddie Jensen of Wodonga. I'll ask Gerald about the history of his banjo when I see him at the Harrietville Festivaslle next month.
	banjonz says: 10/18/2012 11:45:25 AM Its a Zither style banjo and for the time period looks quite modern. Most of them were finished in a darker colour. If I had to put a name name brand on it, I would guess it might be a Cammayer

Saw one on e-bay Australia a while ago, was tempted to buy it just to display it on the wall, the pot construction looked "H.G.Wells" and the tailpiece a massive work of art, like nothing I have seen, would have had to have reinforced the wall !.
